00:04While we are dealing with Emanuela Orlandi and Mirella Gregori and the bones of the Annunciation,
00:10A message arrives on our WhatsApp number.
00:13There is a tombstone, it is an unknown one, who was buried in the Priverno cemetery in 1983.
00:23The year 1983, the year of Emanuela and Mirella's disappearance, is a month, September.
00:32The two of them disappeared first, Mirella in May, Emanuela in June.
00:37Is it possible that the woman buried in Priverno is one of them?
00:43So, Marilena, you called our editorial staff because, precisely, let's say, here in Priverno
00:49There's a story that hasn't been resolved yet that has remained in everyone's memory, right?
00:56So what year was it?
00:591983
00:59It was '83, what happened?
01:03The body of a woman was found in the woods of a hamlet of Priverno.
01:09which is called the hamlet of San Martino.
01:12In September 1983, the body of a woman was found inside this forest.
01:19The marshal of the Carabinieri at the time, on the order of the magistrate,
01:23he has him transported to the morgue at the Priverno cemetery.
01:29He was recovered, the autopsy was done, here, this is the morgue.
01:33Oh, so right here is the morgue, let's say, the place where...
01:38It was the morgue until some time ago.
01:40Now they're offices, he told me.
01:42Yes, they are putting some offices here.
01:44Ok, so what about after the autopsy?
01:47And after the autopsy, I imagine it was closed and the oculus put in, right?
01:53And then we never heard anything else.
01:57But what happened?
01:59How did the body of an unknown woman end up here?
02:03No disappearances have been reported in Priverno or the surrounding area.
02:07No one ever knew who he was, but you have to think about it, right?
02:12Oh, sure, also because, well, the woman, found in that way,
02:17which is not from Priverno, obviously...
02:19No, no, not here...
02:20But not even the surroundings, otherwise we would have known, right?
02:23The only things we know is that that day a mushroom hunter
02:27it enters the San Martino forest.
02:30It is here that he sees the body of a woman hidden under 20 centimeters of earth.
02:36Frightened, he runs to notify the police.
02:40There are no documents, there is nothing that can lead to the identification of this young woman.
02:47His father had a funeral home.
02:50And what was said at home?
02:52So, what is your memory of this episode which, for such a small town, must have had...
02:58So, something was said, given that in any case, especially about Emanuele and Orlandi,
03:05honestly, we suspected that it could be, so we thought, I don't know, I guess they were saying it in town,
03:12but my dad told me they will definitely call the family for an acknowledgement, something,
03:19but then we didn't hear anything else because they weren't coming to warn us anyway, you understand?
03:28We don't even know the name of the medical examiner who performed the autopsy right there on the spot.
03:35That coroner, however, draws up a report.
03:38It's important. Here are some details reported by ANSA at the time.
03:44Listen carefully because some of you might be able to help us.
03:48That body is that of a young woman, apparently between 20 and 40 years old,
03:53with long black hair, about 1.52 meters tall.
03:57She was dressed in a light beige skirt and a patterned green blouse,
04:03two well-made items, such as the German-branded slip and the underwear.
04:09The woman remained in the woods for at least a month,
04:12so his death could date back to the summer of 1983.
04:19Nothing more was heard of that nameless woman.
04:23The mystery of this story has remained intact.
04:27Maria, as some have called her, is always there, unknown.
04:33Who is that woman dressed in sober and well-made clothes,
04:37found lifeless in the woods near the Fossa Nova Abbey?
04:41Could it be a tourist?
04:44Why didn't anyone report her missing?
04:47Someone killed her.
04:50Because, as we know, the body was hidden under 20 centimeters of earth.
04:56Did anyone try to cover it up?
04:59Let's go to the San Martino grove,
05:02a place located halfway between Priverno and the Fossa Nova Abbey.
05:07This is the forest of San Martino, where the body of the woman and the man were found.
05:16Here obviously it extends a lot, it goes a long way,
05:20the vegetation, we were saying, becomes a little thicker
05:25and reaches the border with the Fossa Nova Abbey on one side,
05:28yes, with the territory of Fossa Nova,
05:31and from this one instead with the castle of San Martino.
05:36The castle of San Martino, at the time of the events,
05:39it was not yet owned by the municipality of Priverno.
05:42It belonged to private individuals, who opened it to the public only on Easter Monday.
05:47The Cistercian Abbey of Fossa Nova is a kilometer and a half from here.
05:52Is it possible that that woman had come here to visit the church?
05:56And how did she end up in the middle of that forest?
06:00Did she go there alone or did someone bring her there?
06:06We do not know whether an investigation has been opened into this death.
06:10We only know that it is a story that immediately disappeared from all the pages of Cronaca,
06:16but not from the memory of Marilena and the Priverno agent.
06:20Privernesi have never forgotten it, as you can see,
06:24however the tomb is taken care of and we have this ever-living memory of this woman,
06:29because in our year I have a memory that could be any one of our family.
06:35We remember it.
06:37It was the summer of 1983.
06:40We are in a countryside location near the Fossa Nova Abbey,
06:44in the province of Latina,
06:45halfway between the Circeo sea and Rome.
06:50Can any of you help us?
06:53Can we give Maria her real name?
